Baby steps | hewhopleasures's Blog

Well I'm not fully moved in yet, but at least I've got furniture and - obviously - a working computer.  Only four pieces of furniture can fit in this 10X10 room: Couch (to double as bed), Desk (with chair which I guess is technically a 5th piece of furniture, but don't bother me with details, thank you), a long thin table, and one 5-shelf bookcase.

There is a guy who is doing the same as me and living in this office space.  He denies it, saying he "occasionally" spends the night but doesn't "actually" live here.  Ya, right.  I've just set up this computer and it is now 8:45PM and he is here. Just like he has been every time - at any time - I've been here. 

I think this is a good thing in that I'm not completely isolated from human contact overnight, but bad because it might put a damper on my fantasy of bringing girls over.  (I don't think the walls are soundproofed, lol).  But we'll see... hehehe.

After moving the furniture this afternoon, in the 90 degree heat, I bought my friend lunch. It was the first time I've had one-on-one, face-to-face social contact with someone who wasn't a mutual friend of mine and my wife.  I love my EP friends, but actual live social contact was really special and welcome. 

After that, I went back to the house and crashed.  I haven't been exercising as of late, and combined with the emotional eating of the last several weeks adding 10 pounds around my waist, plus the heat... is it any wonder?  (and SHUT UP to anyone thinking it has anything to do with the fact that I'm 11 years older than the last time I had to move furniture.  I'm still young and spry... can't you tell by my avatar??)

I'm going back to the house tonight.  First of all, I have the car we share and she needs it to get to work in the morning, and second, I haven't brought any clothes.  It's a tiny room and I don't have a dresser or hanger yet.  I'm looking into storage boxes or portable wardrobes, but I need to generate some cash to be able to buy them.  I am manifesting it! I also need to work out the whole toiletry thing.  I don't have closets for personal items. 

No worries, I'll figure it all out.  Baby steps.  First big one taken.
